UNSPSC 50342531: Frozen ranier cherries

The variety of cherries known as ranier cherries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50342531 Frozen ranier cherries is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of this specific frozen fruit product by state and local food service operations. Recent solicitations show frozen cherries are rarely procured as a standalone line item; instead, state and local food service buyers source frozen fruit within broader grocery and fresh/frozen produce categories. The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Henry County Schools in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, and others), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county and city government food service operations (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and regional purchasing cooperatives. School districts dominate recent activity under broader frozen and fresh produce codes that would encompass frozen cherries.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, California, Colorado, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026), which covers approximately 110 food line items including frozen products as part of a blanket contract with a baseline spend of $32,226.36 for the prior year; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB BID052266 (Grocery Items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, due June 30, 2026), spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American provisions and HHFKA compliance; and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 (Food Supply and Distribution Services, due February 18, 2026), seeking a main-line distributor to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. None of these solicitations identify frozen Ranier cherries specifically, and no recent opportunities have been posted targeting this commodity as a primary procurement item, indicating this code sees minimal direct purchasing activity at the state and local level.
